  "account": "Samsung has unveiled two new flagship tablets for 2026 - the Galaxy Tab S12 Plus and the top-tier Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra. The Ultra model boasts a larger 14.6-inch display, a thinner form factor, and enhanced performance compared to its predecessor. It also includes a 13MP front-facing camera, four speakers, and an included S Pen stylus. The Galaxy Tab S12 Plus, with a 12.6-inch screen and slightly thicker build, offers lower storage options and Wi-Fi 6E compatibility. Both devices will be released starting October 7 in gray or silver colors, priced at £1,199/$1,200 for the Plus and £1,399/$1,400 for the Ultra. Samsung is offering additional subscriptions with the tablets, including six months of Google AI Pro and Notability, and four months of Photoshop. Additionally, Samsung has introduced the SmartTag 3, an AirTag-like tracker with cross-OS compatibility, improved battery life, and a longer 'Compass View' range. The tracker will be available starting October 7 in South Korea, with a global release scheduled for 2027.",
